Synopsis "La Perla (in Spanish)"

Esta novela breve narra el hallazgo de una perla de incalculable valor y las consecuencias que acarrea a un modesto pescador; Kino; cuyo hijo a sido victima de la picadura de un escorpion. Sin embargo; el interes de esta novela reside en el enfrentamiento entre dos mundos; el de los ricos y el de los pobres; y en el proceso de cambio en las relaciones humanas en funcion de la situacion economica de las personas. Esto explica que sea una novela ampliamente usada en la escuela para invitar a la reflexion etica. En el centenario de este gran autor era obligado dignificar y poner de nuevo al alcance de los lectores espanoles una buena edicion en tapa dura de esta pequena joya literaria. Guia de lectura gratuita y disponible para el personal docente. Steinbeck consiguio sus grandes novelas centrandose en la observacion de la realidad cotidiana y describiendo la indiscutible grandeza de personajes aparentemente sencillos; elementos a partir de las cuales mostraba las grandes verdades del comportamiento humano. Ahora en un nuevo formato de bolsillo.

John Steinbeck (1902- 1968) was born in Salinas, California. He studied at Stanford University and during his youth worked as a laborer and fruit picker. His first success was Tortilla Flat (1935), a story between picaresque and romantic about Mexican immigrants settled around Monterey (California). In 1936, he wrote a series of seven reports for The San Francisco News, which he later published as The Harvest Gypsies. In 1939, his most famous work appeared: The Grapes of Wrath (Pulitzer Prize 1940), which tells the sad story of a family from the impoverished state of Oklahoma that migrates to California during the economic depression of the thirties; this work, received as a moving document of social protest, was adapted into a film by John Ford in 1940. Among his extensive literary work are also the novels Of Mice and Men (1936), The Pearl (1947) and East of Eden (1962), and screenplays for movies, such as the one he wrote for Viva Zapata! by Elia Kazan. In 1962, Steinbeck received the Nobel Prize in Literature.
